I put a few of my titles in the Select program because I wanted the opportunity for the Amazon giveaway. The results were fantastic, and all nine of my novels are selling better now on Amazon (where I make 95% of my income). I had my ebooks available everywhere, but didn't sell enough through other retailers to make a financial difference.
In fact, the discounting issues I experienced through other retailers have hurt my royalties at Amazon, so they actually work against my profit. So pulling my books from Kobo, Sony, and Books on Board was a good move even without the Select program motivation.
My Detective Jackson books are still available on B&N and I hope to keep them there. I'm waiting to see my share of the Select program proceeds before making any more decisions.
